G&L L2000 // The Versatility of the L2000 Bass

The G&L L2000 Bass is really cool!

The different pickup settings makes it a truly versatile instrument. It can cover a lot of musical styles. The MFD pickups sound really good.

The bass certainly has a 'sound', but if you play around with the settings, it can cover a lot of popular bass sounds.

The first clip is my go-to l2000 sound. Both pickups. Series. Active. Very fat j-bass on steroids type.

The second clip is the front pickup, series, active. It has that old school thump.

Third clip is both pickups, parallel, active high boost. A modern slap sound.

Fourth clip, Jaco! Bridge pickup, series, active, treble cut. A little chorus.

Fifth clip, a 90s rock sound, both pickups, parallel active, high boost. Some saturation. MM style.

I used some overall EQ and compression.

G&L L2000 Bass. Tribute. Made in Japan.

I love the sound of the L2000. Not like anything else. That cool, honky, midrange of the MFD’s is there no matter what you do. Excellent demo and playing. Well done.

Just recently bought this bass. It had a couple minor problems I quickly fixed but the sound was not one of them. The best part of this bass is the slapping. With my other basses there is a noticeable dip in volume switching from fingerstyle to slap but not with this one. Everything is clear without being grating. You can boost the treble. I probably won't for most songs. Overall a very unique bass and fun to play. This is a good demo for it.

Phenomenal sound and superb playing. This was a pleasure to listen to. My bass will be here next week. Looking forward to it!

That may very well be the greatest first 59 seconds of bass I have ever heard. Nice playing. Nice bass. Keep making videos... I will watch them.
